.y,RRrEp or not married" is the ques- t,on that is agltating the minds Of more than one good couple in Arizona. Prior ,, .ha birth of the late Fourteenth" .b- laws relating to marriage were void o, complication. and So far as the law i.salF is concerned, no errors were made ,b.-ain. hut from the very day of the or csnizstion of the Fourteenth Legislature ,5ar. has been shsiow of uncertain
 " overhenging eya-g thing In the shape
 of usace or law within its province or
 i,-;siiction. l. is common report that
 tb. marriage law hos been changed and

 s.s.-. a,s required by new enactment,
 to procu-s license from: one of the
 county officials, probably the Recorder,
 bu; if susl law has aa existence on cur statute books beyond mere report, We grs n0t gdylsei of the matter; and if there be such law. the public are as ig- norsnt Of the fact es they are of the date when this amendment became a law. Several Protestant clergymen in tais county and likewise several justices o' the peace, have since this reported 'egislsti'n, united people ID marriage, bus whether in accordance herewith or ID violation thereof. not even the law makers can say. The Catholic clergy ID this diocese have, however, been for biiden 10 perform the marriage cere- moay pending the settlement of the present chaotic condition of this psriic ular law. This certainly IS the wisest course to pursue. but it is doubtful if judge or clergyman could be success- fully prosecuted for any violation of the law as a whole, or any part thereof. Applications for licence to marry have bui duly made to the County Recorder, been ss he was and is yet without author ityIto act ID such matters, he could issue none. The Board of Supervisors have made demand for copy of this law if there be one, and this point settled, the ecclesiastical and judicial mills can grind out marriages in accordance herewith.

THE mortality statistics jus. published for London are Interesting as showing the working oi tendencies that are m operation throughout most O! the civil ized world. The death rate and birth rate are each on the decrease. The fhl!- iug of in the former, however, IS greater than iu the latter. That is to say, the average age attained by people be- fore they die is greater now than IL was ten years ago, while the number of persons born, in proportion to pOPula- Eion, is not so great as formerly. But the increase in the age limit so counter balances the decrease in births tha. the number of inhabitants, leaving inmigrE- ton out of the calculation, Is steadily growing larger.-Ss Louis Globe Demo crRt,

IRls Hn interesting fact that in the towns Of Cook county, outside of Chi csgo' and in those ot Milwaukee couDty, outside Of the city Of that name, in the recent elections. the Labor party de- Veloped little strength. In the Cook county towns the Labor party, with the sId of the Democrats, cast only 5SOS votes against 1883 given for the Re publican candidate, and yet there are many extensive manufacturing estsb- Ashinents in this territory, and also the great stOokyards: In Milwaukee coun- " outside of the city, the Labor par 'yyote WAS 3l4. while 29Sl votes were east for the Fusion ticket. supported oy Republicans and Democrats. This shows that Socialistic notions do not flourish outside of the cities.-Los Angeles Times.

WE have been repeatedly asked why We do not call attention to the seuss- tiousl and grossly false reports that are being wired abroad relating to the seismie disturbances through which the southern portion of this territory has just passed. These reports notably enemate from Benson in which town the boss liar of the country has seemingly located. The San Francisco Chronicle Of the 9th, instant voiced in fsring headlines, it's Benson messages. Vol. canoes break out in Arizona" Lava flowing down the mountain sides" Two days and night Of overwhelming terror.' Forty severe seocks felt at s single point" Further conyulsions eK- pected." These things We admit are calculated to iujure the interests of Arizona, of which the the dlminu 4tion of travel IS but fractional part thereof. It Is not however, at all times within the province of e newspaper to reciily these abuses. We can call attention to them, point ou. their exagsrations. deny such statements either in whole o- in part, and wind up by proRouncing the author thereof, an unmi.iga'ed and cousumste frsrd, who for half cent a word, the pay he receives, circnla!es re- ports prepidicisl to the best interests of the territory.
